I gave this dental practice 2 years (4 cleanings), but it is past time for a change. Dentist reviews x-rays by holding them up to the fluorescent office light in the ceiling and says "looks good!" Hygienist's cleanings were substandard (whether it was Lee Ann or now Pam). Dental exams were very cursory. The office isn't very sanitary in appearance or practice: One can observe same debris and splashes up on the chair lamp over the course of months. Last (and final appt.), dentist walked in, dropped an exam glove into the sink and was going to put it on and use it in patient's mouth anyway.

About Front Desk: The dentist's wife Betty is a sweetheart. Cherie is down-to-earth and friendly if a bit chatty.

Hygiene rating:

About Hygienist: Inadequate cleanings, felt like being a hostage while in the chair listening to Lee Ann's disturbing, disgusting, and dysfunctional tales of horror and woe; patient should have sent her a bill for having to listen to all of this junk. No wonder she wasn't able to complete the first cleaning in one appointment. It was a relief when she retired, but her replacement Pam did not do very good cleanings either, but at least she just absentmindedly hums to herself rather than dump her life's dysfunctional emotional baggage all over the patient.

Hygiene time: 45
